JCPL Special Collections

Each library in the JCPL system has subject areas in which they collect more comprehensively. This enables the system to have more materials in these heavily used areas, without duplicating resources at each of the branches.

The Business Reference collection is found on an index table behind the Reference desk. These materials include business directories, almanacs, financial materials, statistics, sourcebooks and more.
